PLAN Anti-ship/surface missiles

But there is really no indication that the CJ-10 missile was used by the 055 or 052d destroyers and for your information I have also modified the YJ-18 and YJ-12 wikipedia.

052D and 055 are definitely capable to launch CJ-10 and whether it is actively deployed, who knows, I think it is anyone guess. CJ-10 is not the only land attack missile, quite few actually.

As @TK3600 mentioned above, the focus of PLAN destroyers are not for land attack (even obviously very capable), so many other means, H-6K/N is one of them, also you may have heard SRBM or MRBM or ICBM which China has a massive number?

No, CJ-10 is not compatible on PLAN UVLS DDGs. That Wikipedia isn't correct. The subsonic LACM that they use is a YJ-18 variant. I would also assume the YJ-17, YJ-20, and whatever the designation of the ship-launched HCM that exists on their DDGs all have land-attack capability as well.

If you think you know better, your opinion, not mine ;)

I'm not saying I disagree with you.
But do we really have any reliable evidence that PLA navy uses CJ-10 missile such as pictures, official claims or anything other than some unreliable defense media?
What do you believe is the difference between land attack and anti ship missiles anyways? just warhead type and terminal guidance?

I don't really think so. PLA uses the YJ-18 as their primary anti-ship missile and it also has land attack capabilities but if you compare it to the Tomahawk, Kalibr or MDCN, its range is relatively short.I just wanna know if CJ10 is actually used by China rn.I know that in the near future the PLA will develop multiple hypersonic missiles for both anti-ship and land attack missions. However, it will take some time before they can put all of the systems into their service.
